The Bengals are not cheap when it comes to paying players, and they are beyond other teams when it comes to honoring contracts once they are signed. This agent sucks and likely couldn't get a deal he wanted from the Bengals for another client, so he steers his other clients away from them? Hopefully Thuney has been around long enough to know better.
The Bengals are absolutely known to be cheap adding FAs outside of the org, which is why last year there was a big deal made when they finally went and spent money on other team's players. To act is if that has been the norm for the past 30 or 40 years is goofy to me.
At the time Joe Thuney was drafted, and when this was said to the family, the Bengals were absolutely known as cheap ass sticklers (especially with paying Joe's position of GUARD) running a NFL franchise like a mom & pop shop. I'm a Bengals fan, too, but that doesn't make me delusional.
